“In the same vein, the lit-up Abia project has covered 36 streets in Umuahia and extended to Aba- Owerri, Factory, MCC, Okigwe and Brass roads all in Aba,” he noted.

Similarly, his colleague of the ministry of works, Don Oti explained that the proposed 6-line Umuahia-Ossah road project would begin as soon as the procedure was completed.

“The procedure include payment of compensation to owners of structures that would be affected and commencement of their demolition,” he added.
